On the passenger side flange where there are 3 nuts: The top nut is actually welded to a mount of sort and a bolt on the other side. while the two bottom nuts are just nuts screwed onto studs that are connected to the flange.


You must basically get a 13mm regular wrench, hold that nut in place, then get a ratchet (or a small 3/8 in drive impact gun which i used to take off all bolts so as to prevent stripping or breaking bolts) with about a 6-9 in extension with a 13 mm socket and fit it through the lower bar of the suspension and unbolt from there.

I used an impact gun with a 3 inch deep socket 13mm connected to a 3 inch extension and hit it from the rear where the bolt is.

As for the broken stud, I wouldn't recommend those easy-out or drilling, because you run risk of hitting the threads of the hole into the cylinder head. Especiallg given the clearance and angels if you're working under jackstands, It's not very safe.

A bolt actually broke off when i was screwing it in after I installed my headers. So right now I have an exhaust leak from that one bolt not there. I am going to go to a shop to have them weld a nut (they weld the nut through the hole in the middle) to the broken stud and then you can use that welded on nut to unwrench the fabricated bolt out.


I can snap some pics of it tommorow to better illustrate what i am saying.
